Everyone on Twitter is "Tweeting their own horn".

As I am tweeting my life away. I feel that the only thing I am doing on Twitter is talking about myself. My interests. What I think and how I feel about issues and matters of interest. I started reading tweets from some of the people I follow just trying to figure out what they are tweeting about and before you know it half an hour later I realized that everyone else is doing the same. Talking about “ME”.
ME…ME…ME…
Took a break and checked out my personal email and here it was an email from Seth Godin. So timely. I love it he talks about the pillars of social media and why people choose to visit them:
- Who likes me?
- Is Everything Okay?
- How can I become more popular?
- What’s new?
- I’m bored, let’s make some noise.
I thought, “I love this guy. He is always on top of it”. I started evaluating Seth’s pillars of social media and I divide them into two categories.
First category would be the “ME” category and the second would be the “News” category.
I believe the pillars:
- Who likes me?
- How can I become more popular?
- I’m bored, let’s make some noise.
fall under the “ME” category which I also like to call “Tweeting your own horn” category.
The remaining pillars:
- Is everything okay?
- What’s new?
belong to the “News” catagory which I tend to believe could be the only two reasons why Twitter might be of some use, or at least for now until some one finds a real world useful application for it.
